Eric reported a performance regression caused by header prediction
removal.

We now call tcp_ack() much more frequently, for some workloads
this brings in enough cache line misses to become noticeable.

We could possibly still kill HP provided we find a different
way to suppress unneeded tcp_ack, but given we're late in
the cycle it seems preferable to revert.
